From Couch's Staircase—Watkins Glen State Park
A shot I took high up from Couch's Staircase. The first image is one I edited solely in Darktable having been inspired by the historic photographs littered throughout the entrance of the park. The second image is that with a mild filter (slightly colorized and with increased contrast), and the last is the scene lightly edited in color.
These are much more successful, well done!
That's the trap with the old documents: they may have suffered
all kinds of alteration through UV among many others. If one
studies properly preserved historical photograph, their real dyna-
mic range — though old and limited — had a charm of their own!
Light is free… capturing it is not!
New but trying wrote: I was attempting to capture the "old" look of some the historical photos of the park, but I think I might have overdone it. Hopefully these look a little better:
Very good render for the shot! Nice range of tones.
